《South Park》(South Park) Season 29 first episode title change

《South Park》(South Park) When the 29th season started airing, the first thing to do was the opening sequence that everyone is familiar with.The original town was temporarily renamed “South American Town” by the show, and the place names in the theme song were also changed accordingly.This change does not require the audience to wait until the plot progresses to discover this change, it is right in front of them in the first minute.

The first episode still revolves around Cartman, Stan, Kyle and Kenny.The four children became obsessed with electric bicycles and rode them around town.The adults obviously didn't like this trend, so they formed their own motorcycle team to compete with the children.The story starts small, and the jokes are quickly pushed into a familiar rhythm of chaos.

As usual, Kenny was the unlucky one.After his electric bicycle exploded, the people in the town suddenly found a common goal, first banning electric bicycles, and then selling commemorative shirts with the name of the new town printed on them.The show took a farce that had nothing to do with the name of the town and took it over to this name change, and the ending also retained the usual absurdity.

The title change came from an open joke

Before the launch of Season 29, creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone had already stated that the show would use a new name.The statement they gave was deliberately exaggerated, mentioning Apple, Google and Paramount, and the tone was consistent with the spoof method in the show.In the first episode, this gag was actually put into the title and theme song. What the audience heard was not a line, but the entire opening that had been reprocessed.

This name-changing joke alludes to the recent political topics surrounding place names in the United States.The show doesn't make it into an instruction manual, nor does it stop to explain the ins and outs.After the new title appeared, the camera immediately returned to the four children and their electric bicycles, and the name change became a recurring background joke in the episode.

The first episode also features an animated image of US President Donald Trump.This character appears quickly and has a clear purpose, which is to give the spoof of the new name a visible landing point.For viewers who have been following this animation for a long time, it is not unusual for the program to be willing to put current events into the small town.Season 29 chose to start with the opening credits, making the opening of this season particularly eye-catching.

《South Park》(South Park) just won the Creative Arts Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program this year.The production team also continued to use satirical expressions about Trump in their social platform updates after winning the award.The first episode of Season 29 picks up on this line. At least judging from the content that has been aired, the show has no intention of putting away political jokes.

The story still starts with the children’s troubles

No matter how lively the external topic is, it still has to come back to Cartman, Stan, Kyle and Kenny.The first episode did not assign any complicated tasks to them, and the electric bicycle was the trigger for everything.The children see the new toy as freedom, the adults see it as a problem that needs to be dealt with, and each side becomes more and more troublesome.

The most direct changes in this episode are the title and the name of the town, but the most familiar parts have not changed at all.Some people cause trouble on their bikes, some follow the trend, and some turn accidents into business.Season 29 has already begun. Whether the town will continue to use this new name will depend on the subsequent broadcast content.
